Summary.

In 2025, MENA's infrastructure demand, fueled by demographic growth and urbanization, is estimated at $75–100 billion annually. China and the U.S. are key players, investing through state-backed loans and public-private partnerships, respectively. Significant areas include energy, transportation, and digital infrastructure, particularly targeting clean energy and AI ventures.

Emerging trends show MENA leveraging U.S.-China competition to bolster regional integration and capacity building, though debt sustainability and governance risks persist.
